After a decent period of consolidation, most major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), were trading in the red on Monday as the crypto market fell by $100 billion.
Indeed the overall cryptocurrency market cap stands at $2.02 trillion, a 4.67% decrease over the last day. In particular, the total crypto market volume in the previous 24 hours is $114.49 billion, which makes a 6.17% increase, Bitcoin is currently trading at $44,494, down 1.7% in the last 24 hours down 14.39% in the last week alone, according to CoinMarketCap.com.
Furthermore, the total volume in DeFi is currently at $18.39 billion, 16.06% of the whole crypto market’s 24-hour volume. While the volume of all stable coins is now $88.76 billion, which is 77.53% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume as many traders appear to leave money on the sidelines.

On Tuesday, 7 September 2021, the cryptocurrency market witnessed a brief flash crash, following a recovery over the past several weeks. Most cryptocurrencies were hit hard by the broader market’s losses.
According to CoinMarketCap, the market lost $330 billion in two hours, bringing the total market worth down to $1.95 trillion. The market then regained approximately $170 billion to $2.12 trillion, though. Bitcoin, which fell from $52,000 to almost $44,000, was the catalyst for the plunge.
Elsewhere in the market
Over the past 24 hours, Solana has lost over 15.29% of its market value following a substantial rise over the previous week or two, which suggests Solana is likely to be heading into consolidation territory shortly.
Interestingly Cardano on Monday also opened in red changing hands at $2.35, down 8.5% and 19.2% in the last seven days. The asset was dumped despite the launch of smart contracts earlier on Sunday evening.
In a case of “buy the rumor, sell the news,” the fall in Cardano, one of the so-called “Ethereum killers,” comes after recent interest and advances in the cryptocurrency’s price. At press time, ADA fell in tandem with other major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum; however, the decline in ADA was far sharper.
Despite the dip, Charles Hoskinson went to Twitter to celebrate the implementation of the long-awaited upgrade.

Nevertheless, the Ukrainian parliament approved a measure enabling the existence of digital currencies last week, bringing the country one step closer to legalizing cryptocurrency in the nation.
